United Computer Group Enhances Vault400 Online Backup

United Computer Group, Inc. announced VAULT400 Disaster Recovery and High Availability (H/A) Managed Service Offerings for the IBM System i (AS/400, Power System) and Intel (Windows) Servers. These new managed service offerings complement  VAULT400 Online Backup and provide hardware RTO options ranging from 72,  24,  12 or less than 1 hour.

“Our customers asked for it and UCG is pleased to deliver”, explained Jim Kandrac, president of United Computer Group, Inc. “Combining VAULT400 online backup with managed service hardware RTO options is a very cost effective and attractive offering for mid-market organizations. Prior to the introduction of VAULT400’s Online Backup Service in 2006, organizations relied strictly on tape or spent significant dollars on High Availability."

VAULT400 in 2006 ‘filled the gap’ between tape & H/A with online backup and now in 2009, VAULT400 has ‘closed’ the gap with VAULT400 DR and H/A Managed Service Options.

VAULT400 is a licensed solution of United Computer Group, Inc. UCG was formed in 1987 and has served 650+ end user clients. VAULT400 is a managed service for System i users as well as Windows, Oracle, SQL, and AIX users.

VAULT400 backs up an entire organization’s business-critical data to VAULT400’s secure data center so that data is always available and accessible for immediate online recovery. The service conducts automatic backups without human intervention and lets administrators manage multiple online backup and recovery processes from a single Windows workstation. VAULT400 takes a point-in-time backup during each scheduled session, and in the event a restore is needed, VAULT400 can provide the data from any specific backup.

Other features include end-to-end encryption of data while in transit or storage, backup of only changed data blocks, optimized backups for Microsoft Exchange environments, and comprehensive reporting. In addition, the VAULT400’s iSeries Agent works in concert with VAULT400’s Director feature to protect native Objects, DB2 databases, IFS data, and system data.
